"Kudos to Judy"...A "steller job"??? Of what? Typing up OTHER people's creativity and getting paid for it? I gave no permission, nor did any friend I've asked, to be reproduced in any of her books.

4.0 out of 5 stars Need a Laugh?, December 28, 2003
This review is from: Jokes To Go: 1,386 Of The Funniest Bits From the Best Comedians (Paperback)
"I never panic when I get lost. I just change where it is I want to go."

"The town where I grew up has a zip code of E-I-E-I-O."

"Black holes are where God divided by zero."

If you like one-liners, you will enjoy Jokes to Go. Most of the entries are one or two lines, and nothing is longer than about a third of a page. There is everything from Henny Youngman and Jackie Mason to Jimmy Fallon and Chris Rock. Lily Tomlin, A. Whitney Brown, Steve Martin, Steven Wright, Margaret Cho, Rita Rudner, Marga Gomez, Dennis Miller, and a few dozen others are all represented here.

The jokes range from current events (George W. Bush jokes, for instance) to borscht belt humor to social commentary. So what are you waiting for? Buy it, already!

...because you just might pee yourself reading this book.

The funniest stuff from the funniest folks, sure to cause episodes of incontinence and milk through the nose the world over.

Brown does an excellent job of editing and the comics do a great job of doing what they do best (ie being funny)

4.0 out of 5 stars Best Take Out I've Ever Had, March 24, 2004
This review is from: Jokes To Go: 1,386 Of The Funniest Bits From the Best Comedians (Paperback)
Judy Brown has delivered once again a compilation of some of America's brightest comics in an easy to read, can't put down style.

Jokes To GO, is a historical collection of some of the funniest material by wellknown as well as up-and-coming comics.

Kudos to Judy for her dedication to the art and preservation of StandUp. This book is a great gift to anyone who is a lover or a student of comedy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny and fun, January 15, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Jokes To Go: 1,386 Of The Funniest Bits From the Best Comedians (Paperback)
This book is great for when you want a laugh and a light read. Lots of jokes by well-known comics and a few that I haven't heard of. The jokes are also organized by topic, so if you ever need something for an ocassion to jot down in a card or if you have to speak before a group, it really comes in handy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not Bad, Good Value, July 31, 2005
This review is from: Jokes To Go: 1,386 Of The Funniest Bits From the Best Comedians (Paperback)
A bunch of one-liners from various comedians. Some comedians seem to be heavily favored; some of them are good, and some are not. Definitely some good comedy. The book was really marked down when I bought it, so I think it was a good buy.

"Kudos to Judy"...A "steller job"??? Of what? Typing up OTHER people's creativity and getting paid for it? I gave no permission, nor did any friend I've asked, to be reproduced in any of her books. I'm lucky, Judy hasn't seen me for years. She's using old jokes for me. But, I see new, up and coming comics, who haven't had their HBO special or even a shot on "Premiam Blend" yet before she's burning their jokes on the rubber chicken circuit. AND, she's having book signings? Who's name is she signing? Singers have to pay royalties. Please people, buy the books and CD's of the comics you like, then do their best jokes. At least, you'll be paying the right person commission. Diane Nichols
